Waking up this week has been awful! I am not getting enough sleep. Consequently, I've been pushing back my actually-physically-crawling-out-of-bed time which means no time to think too hard about outfits/look in the mirror. I have so many outfits in my head, but not all of them are comfortable enough to spend 10 hours sitting in front of a computer. Plus, it's still pretty damn cold here at 7 am so I'm less inclined to want to go barelegged or wear lacy tights when I have to get in the car and sit down on the frozen leather seats (leather seats don't do well in extreme temperatures. You either burn your ass or it gets frozen to the rock hard seat.) Another thing to consider during morning dressing: I'm so short that my legs don't really reach the floor when I sit at my desk (yes, I am a child) so I mostly curl up in the chair with my legs beneath me or scrunched up in front of me. This means I can't be indecent since I don't want to flash my male coworker.

One lovely reader emailed me asking if I would do a little fundraising update once in a while, so that you all know my progress in the Brave Project. I thought it was a fun idea, so even though my progress is not really that far along, here's the first one!
I only put it up to 6,000, partly because that's around the price of a Winnebago, and also because any number larger than that is too frightening. Obviously once I reach that goal it's by far not the end of my fundraising, since I need to actually save up for food and gas, etc. This seemed like a good place to start, though!
Oh, and come back later today! I have another vintage giveaway for you guys, I know you're gonna love it!
30 musings:
you're adorable! i'm in love with your hair. i have curly hair too & mine used to look just like yours but now my hair is short and all i want to do is grow it out so i can wear my hair long & curly again with straight, bold bangs! btw, i like your boots.
xo
you look great...i'm so happy u commented on the perils of dressing practical while also trying to express your style!! I would love to look photo ready everyday but cold leather seats and drawn out hours really do make it impossible! lol and goodluck with your fundraising!

This is a sweet photo. I think it's so cute that your feet don't touch the ground in your chair! I am the opposite (5'7) and the chairs in one of my lectures are big computer chairs and I relish the fact that for once I can sit criss-cross in it. :D
Haha I love that you factor your sitting style into your outfits. My feet never touched the ground at my desk either--I actually had to have my company order me a footrest (which I'm glad I did b/c it made my work life way comfier)!
Lovely comfy outfit !
oh man, i have the same problem. i'm barely 5'0 and my feet dangle everywhere!
Short girls unite! I sit like that all the time. Haha.
Can't wait to see the giveaway :)

You'll love having a Winnebago (sp?) if you ever own one. My grandmother owned one and we used to travel in it all of the time. It was wonderful! I myself have a dream of owning an old VW bus.
you aren't the only one that feels that way this week. It has been such a struggle to get up in the morning. I had to take a mental health day it was so frustrating.
But in spite of how you are feeling you do look amazing.
You look gorgeous! Love the jacket and your hair always looks great
Fabulous photos- and clothes as always, love the boots, they remind me of home, wherever that is x

One of my favorite outfits yet! You are just adorable!!!
love your coat!
I love this outfit! You have such great style! I know how you feel about the short thing. I have the same problem! My feet never reach anything! Good luck with the Winnebago!
The plaid coat is my favorite part of the whole outfit.
And good luck on your Winnebago!
I'm so excited because my grandma is giving me her Volkswagen camper van and like yourself, I have dreams of traveling cross country one day.

i love the colors in your coat! so pretty. those boots are great, too.
I really love the outfit today! I think it is awesome that you are posting the status of your fundraiser! How fun!
Nothing ever looks good at 7 AM, especially when it is dark and cold, so you did an exceptionally good job, because you look adorable!
Chic on the Cheap
lovely photos =) and im liking the fundraising updates - so exciting!
I love the fundraising update! Keep doing that! And I totally know what you mean. I've been such a scrub lately because I sit cross legged on my computer chair at school, take off my shoes and just work and stare at the screen for like.. 12 hours straight, so I'm just burnt out fashionably. Haha!
I like the fundraising image, it's gonna be so inspiring! I'm going to make one for my own goals :]
such a cute outfit!
1. love the colour of the nails, I got a similar shade 2 weeks ago.
2. love the colourful coat, mental note need to ge tone for next winter.
3. that is a great outfit for just having rolled out of bed.
I love that jacket!
Your jacket is so cute!
That stripy dress is so cute. OKAY I totally have an idea for you. Do you have a heater at your work place? WELL even if you don't, on those days when you're feeling a little...indecent :O grab a giant scarf or cardigan or...cape...or...harry potter costume! and throw it over your lap :) tada! no more indecency.
...oops I just realized that's a very obvious idea and you've probably tried it. Oh well!
Those boots are AMAZING! Good luck with your venture--- sending good vibes your way!
the boots in your first outfit are so cute!
...and the winnebago fund counter you made is so creative! i think your dream is really cool. good luck with everything.

I love your plaid jacket!
Perhaps you could put a towel on your seat before you sit so neither of the two will happen.
Good luck with your fundraiser!
